He sang a song of Valinor
Added 2020-01-31 07:50:44 +0000 UTC"Then in defiance of the Orcs, who cowered still in the dark vaults beneath the earth, he took his harp and sang a song of Valinor that the Noldor made of old, before strife was born among the sons of Finwë; and his voice rang in the mournful hollows that had never heard before aught save cries of fear and woe."
Watercolour and white gel pen (eyes... XD) on Fabriano No. 5, 23x31 cm.

This should just be THE cover for The Silmarillion. It’s so RIGHT!

2020-01-31 15:53:27 +0000 UTCI like the subtle wash of green in the middle of the vision. I feel silly for just realizing this, but those are THE two Trees, right? And am I correct to interpret the riders as Maedhros and Fingon?

2020-01-31 15:46:41 +0000 UTCThis is so incredible Jenny! I not only love the simple colour scheme, but really love the emotion it conveys. Looks fantastic on that Fabriano paper! I’ll have to order some samples off of Jackson’s. Yes, what a wonderful start indeed! I can’t wait to see where this goes!

2020-01-31 14:39:15 +0000 UTCThis is just beyond breathtaking! The contrast of the two riders in the song with not a care in the world and all eternity in Valinor in front of them portrayed alongside the bleakness of their lives now just makes me ache for them. This one and Atonement - what a start to the year!!

2020-01-31 14:13:26 +0000 UTCThis painting is awesome. And the two riders! <3 They remind me so much of the ones you sketched on the mats of my Inktober pieces.
